...﻿How can authorities play a conclusive role in promoting business clusters, critically discuss.
With the upturn of the 21st century, trends in technology, globalization and emerging competition in every sector/industry irrespective of geographical boundaries, which has not only made the average consumer more tech savvy, aware and knowledgeable but at the same time, inadvertently, set the bar higher by raising the expectation levels of product/service standards. This is the right time for the governments to capitalize on the growing momentum and harness the long term benefits that it carries by providing business friendly policies and the right framework to support this explosive growth that is to provide economic prosperity to all its citizens. It has also been evident, lately, through common observation, that the conventional and aging principles of economic development would just not fit the bill.
In this context a more proactive and strategic role for government in support of the cluster-based economic development model has emerged. There is a growing consensus that if done right, this model can provide a foundation for sustainable economic growth and the way forward to greater benefits for the citizens.

Global Impact
From just reading the title alone it is easy to assume what the remainder of this paper will be speaking about; however, the topic itself has more entwined turns and shifts than a mere title can divulge. Globalization is a group of process, methodologies, theories, and principles that stretch across the world and appears dressed in one uniformed concordance. Globalization’ impacts are highly visible as it has forged civilizations out of unbeaten and hidden paths of the deepest jungles; and even within jungle communities so primitive to the point where modern currency is still in the form of animals and artifacts. Business that was once a colonial trade event has transformed from bartering of flour and seeds in the community market to precious metals and simple pieces of paper called bearer bonds over internet in international waters. Globalization has constructed a new business world identity with both positive and negative impacts that have reshaped cultural differences for many generations yet to come.

Positive Impact
Globalization has affected everything; however, it has affected everything differently, thus, the conversation about global impact depends on what the topic is in relation to: income and employment are huge entities affected by it. Globalization has focused energies,...

...Formal Communication
Formal structure is primarily concerned with the relationship between authority and subordinate. A typical organization chart illustrates the formal structure at work in a company or part of a company. The hierarchical organization begins at the top with the most senior leader and then cascades down to the subordinate managers and then subordinate employees below those managers. There are job titles, financial obligations and clear lines of authority for each box on the organization chart.
A type of verbal presentation or document intended to share information and which conforms to established professional rules, standards and processes and avoids using slang terminology. The main types of formal communication within a business are
(1) downward where information moves from higher management to subordinate employees,
(2) upward where information moves from employees to management and (3) horizontal where information is shared between peers.
Today's businesses offer a wide range of communication options to clients and employees, making it easier than ever before for businesses to distribute important messages. While in-person and telephone communications are the most obvious ways local businesses communicate with clients and employees, there are other channels businesses can use that offer benefits that the businesses of yesteryear would never have imagined possible--or necessary. Here Some Methods of Formal communications....

Hollywood’s influence on global culture
2/20/14
1. Factors that can affect national culture in Hollywood films can be cross culture risk, cultural metaphor, and Idioms. Some movies can come off as offensive to other countries by how they are portrayed. As Americans we may think one saying or gesture may be fine but other cultures can find it offensive. Ethnocentric orientation is when people use their own culture as the standard for judging other cultures. Many times people can think their culture, race, or religion is superior to others. Idioms are expressions whose symbolic meaning is different from its literal meaning. Idioms can affect how one person or culture interprets it to mean another thing and could be seen as rude or insulting or even funny. Cultural metaphors that can also be seen in Hollywood movies can refer to a distinctive tradition or institution strongly associated with a particular society. Some examples of cultural metaphors are Swedish Stuag is a metaphor for love of nature and desire for individualism through self-development. All of these examples are portrayed in Hollywood movies and is left to the audience to make their own judgment on that culture.
Hollywood tires to promote the U.S. as low content culture and individualism. Americans are promoted as very straight forward and to the point and Americans put a great emphasis on communication. Other cultures that are low content...
